While 41-year-old Dominic Purcell and his 24-year-old girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord are one of the odder celebrity couples as of late, they’re also one of the sweeter. The two are open about the ups and downs of their relationships, including intellectual arguments and their current long-distance status. Dominic is filming Vikingdom in Malaysia while AnnaLynne continues to play Naomi Clark on The CW’s 90210, and the separation has been tough on them.

But they still find time for cute moments like this one that UsMagazine.com snapped: AnnaLynne Skypes with Dominic in-between takes. It’s a cheesy moment that the paparazzi interrupted, but both are good sports about it—especially shirtless Dominic.
“Right now it sucks,” AnnaLynne frankly told Us (who seems to get all of her relationship scoop) last month. “I keep getting pictures of him in all his Viking outfits, and I’m like, ‘Are you just trying to tease me?’”

Dominic has also raved about his very “intelligent” younger woman: “She doesn’t take any of my shit—which I need.”

The couple went public just this past July, when he visited her on the 90210 set. Officer Down, the movie on which they met, is set to come out sometime in 2012.
